    Picked up another PB. Maybe it's a trend?

    Got a big pile of books from my King's Way Press lifetime subscription yesterday. 27 hardcovers and paperbacks.

    Thanks and congrats to you as well. Looking forward to reading this story. I somehow forgot all about this series and didn't get in on the Thunderstorm series.

    Best of luck with your quest!
    I was excited about Larry Hama coming to the Denver con in 2020 so I'm hoping he'll return. I'd even drive as far as Salt Lake (since it's not THAT far.) My wife did ask if I wanted to go to Emerald City Comic Con this year, but it's hard to justify that expense. It looks like we will be heading to Denver's this July because one of the voice actors there did a voice on My Little Pony and my wife hasn't met him yet.

    Hopefully MIke Zeck will begin to make appearances again in-person.

    Oh and great photo!

Mike Zeck - cover artist - doesn't seem to be doing any signings or anytjhing other than weird Instagram "auctions". Rod Whigham - pencils - no clue about. He has an LinkedIn page but I don't want to stalk him there.

    EDIT: Huh, just noticed this was officially my 3000th post. Happy Anniversary to me.

    The other day, I was listening to one of my favorite comic book podcasts - Off Panel - and Tom King was on, and something he said made me take pause and wonder if . . . He said he owns some original art pages from the first comic book he ever bought, so I was curious what some of the going rates were for the first comic I read.

    Back in 1985, I was in the fifth grade (time wise, I just have been inbetween 4th and 5th grades actually,) either school or Cub Scouts (maybe through Boys Life?) had a magazine subscription contest or similar, and I subscribed to my first comic book - G.I. Joe from Marvel Comics.

    You can't fault me - I was 10 years old, was totally into the cartoon and the toys, the comic book was the next logical step.

    The first issue that was sent to me was G.I. Joe #38. I didn't spend a lot of time looking, but I didn't come across any original art for this particular issue (I did find a page from #36 for $2,000 which was out of my price range) so instead, I decided to see if I could find a copy in good condition.

    And I found one listed as near mint from Mile High Comics (who just so happens to be right down the road.) Plus, they were having a 60% off back issues sale, so I ended up spending about $30 before shipping on a near mint copy of the first comic I ever bought:

    Now I want to get it signed by everyone involved.

    In 2020 before the world ended, Larry Hama, the writer, was going to be in Denver at the Denver Pop Culture Con, but we all know how 2020 went. Mike Zeck - cover artist - doesn't seem to be doing any signings or anytjhing other than weird Instagram "auctions". Rod Whigham - pencils - no clue about. He has an LinkedIn page but I don't want to stalk him there.

    Have to keep my eyes peeled for signing opportunities.

    Just weird that as many iPhones I've had over the years, I've never had the issue before. I use a wireless charger at work since it's convienent on my desk, but usually charge via a cord at home (on night stand) and I'm probably one of the few people who still back up my iPhone in iTunes on my computer (I also own my music rather than stream so that's how I update my playlists.) My car doesn't have wireless CarPlay which is where I really noticed that not having the port work was horrible.

    But you better believe me that I'll start paying attention to lint going forward.
